Transit: Escape from Somalia to Yemen


Photojournalist Espen Rasmussen tells the stories of refugees from Somalia who have crossed the gulf to Yemen, fleeing violence and looking for work. The video, composed of images and video by Rasmussen and edited by Anna Stevens of Panos Pictures, is part of Rasmussen's seven-year Transit project, in which he documents the experiences of people displaced by conflicts and disasters around the world. He reflects on the project in an interview with the Atlantic Video channel here.


Don't miss two more videos from the Transit series, about refugees in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and displaced families in Georgia.
